Now that I have your attention.

When do the following year's line ups get released?  It's been so long since I've waited for anything, and I don't know what the typical release dates are for new fishing equipment.  

Most of the big name items get released around January.

A lot of Shimano's '08 line up are already in stores, the new spinning series as well as their new casting reel the CORE are already out.

This  is true for lots of companies, Xmas is around the corner.

For most, a line isn't "launched" till the '08 BPS bible lands at the doorstep but for example, if you go to sites that sell their own stuff, a lot of '08 stuff is out there.
